A DAY IN THE LIFE OF No.14
Whether you’re 25 or 65, our guests span the ages. But at the core what they all have in common is a desire to recharge and relax at end of an adventure filled day, in a warm, welcoming, and comfortable place that has a great atmosphere. Some may also be drawn by the affordable price; others just like No.14 as a unique place to stay. See more on our socials.

SEE & DO
There's SO much to see and do in the Blue Mountains, we can't possibly include it all here - and even beyond the natural wonders! So much so that Annette wrote a book in 2022 about everything else there is to do up here, and why she doesn't miss Sydney (soz). Check out the book Out of the Blue here, and below are some starters on both natural and other wonders – just click on any image to learn more.

REVIEWS
Julia & Arthur
This is the perfect spot to recharge and relax after a busy day of exploring. We did not anticipate falling deeply in love with this beautiful hostel.
As avid hikers, No.14 was everything we didn’t know we needed. It was the perfect spot to recharge after long days of hiking while also being an incredibly cozy space to write and work in—which is not typically the case with most of the hostels we have stayed in before.

There’s this feeling in the air,
That you really do care
It spills from the cupboards,
It spills from the walls,
Every nook and cranny
‘Cause this place has it all.
Passion over exteriors,
Every single time.
‘Cause a dollar is still a dollar,
Even without its shine.
for I’d choose warmth over
Corporate, every single time.
And if these walls could talk,
I wonder what they’d tell us.
A hundred years of history,
A hundred years of people,
Their detailed lives now a mystery.
So, here we have it,
‘A home away from home’,
for No14 is different,
It has a heart that beats.
It has friendly people and passion,
that will sweep you from your feet.

No.14 is a home away from home. My go-to whenever I'm in the Blue Mountains. I don't want to stay anywhere else so I arrange my holiday dates around what's available as it's worth it! The rooms are basic but extremely comfy and very toasty (especially in the Winter!). I usually travel with a medium rucksack and they are always good at making arrangements to keep it on the premises until I check in proper, which is really handy. It's always nice after a day's adventuring to snuggle up in the lounge areas with some wine, snacks and a cosy fire before adjourning to an even cosier bed.
Chloe
No.14 Lovel St feels like a home away from home. It’s clean but cosy and Annette’s welcoming smile means you are quickly settled in. I don’t think I’ve ever had a better night’s sleep than when I’ve stayed at No14 and eating breakfast or dinner with the view from the verandah is priceless. Drying out your wet trail runners or boots by the fire after a day of adventures is a beautiful bonus.
